I have decided to begin the search for my birth parents, but I don't know where to begin or what to do.

I was born in Dunoon, Scotland which seems to complicate things as far as searching is concerned.

Can anybody here shed any light on what my first steps toward a possible reunion whould be?

dunoon is a small place, easy to find people there
try contacting
eliot@dunoon-observer.co.uk
email ask for a quote for an advert
its a small paper everyone reads for there local gossip.
best of luck

Thanks Mary Doll, that's a great idea. I'll give it a shot.

another idea try looking up bt phone numbers for dunoon if you know your dads surname, if he was born in dunoon usually other family members stay in the same place they were born.

thats how i found an adopted chap,s who lives in london
birth mother for him last month she still lived in dunoon he was born in 1979.
can u let me know do you live in scotland &
do you have your birth certificate, just the year of birth
as i can give you a few addresses of agencies here that can help you search.
the reason i ask the qs is that scottish laws on adoptees rights have changed, for the better i might add.
all the best
